There are still some details to work out with leases and permits but if everything goes as planned, Sturgis Kentucky will host the first Kentucky Biker Fest at the Union County Fairgrounds July 14-17.

Tim Banks and Carlene Thomas, owners of Custom Biker Wear approached the Union County Fairground board after Little Sturgis Rally and Races cancelled their event last month. The Thomas’s said they wanted to keep the bikers coming to the fairgrounds.

“We travel all over the country and people know it, people know about this rally. So it’s well known, it’s well established, there’s no sense to let it die,” Banks says.
